Mert and Marcus are my guilty pleasure photographers. Why guilty, you may ask?

well, first of all I believe that they erase any trace of realism captured in photos...which hides any real skill (besides composition) they might have behind the lens.Their end product is an intensely photoshopped, airbrushed, color tweaked hyper-real picture.

which I love.

I am a sucker for high contrast, juicy, saturated pics!! have you noticed?? (/sarcasm)Miu Miu FW08 campaign:

pics from miu miu.com

I also have a soft spot for LaChapelle and Meisel... but don't tell anyone.

you know when you're getting dressed and a certain color really appeals to you right then? I opened my closet and this neon green AA shirt just jumped at me. I decorated my bag with a silk YSL scarf/foulard.

In a recent interview with Danish magazine Cover the master of fetish-chic himself was asked about his impossibly high 16mm heels. He responded casually that they are meant to be walked on "only when getting in and out of the limo".

Jalea Jalea is a jewelery label I just discovered. The jewelery is a mix between chunky, Marni-esque proportions and Natalia Brilli-type colors and materials... with Alex and Chloe prices! win-win situation.The designer is also a fellow Mexicana like me so this makes her jewelery even cooler. I've always had a soft spot for mexican jewelery, while I lived there I would get my fix at the market near the Zócalo (downtown). Whenever I had a free weekend, I would travel down to Taxco (a little city that thrives on its silver mines) and go nuts. Cheap, high quality silver!

I am trying to be good and spend as little as possible, but when the balenciaga FW07 collection starts trickling in it is not good. I seriously have to stop opening this site. How perfect is this skirt?I don't expect it to make it to sales but I am super glueing my fingers in the 'crossed' position.

such a statement piece but versatile.. I could wear this in the dead of winter with thick tights and boots or in a 40 degree celsius heatwave with a tiny tank and sandals. SHUGGA DADDY WHERE U AT???

Happy day! I got my Nicholas Kirkwood shoes. They fit perfectly and are surprisingly comfortable despite the height. Here are a few pics I snapped while wearing them. I'm not too keen on the shorts+heels combo in general, but this is what I was wearing prior to putting them on for modeling pics.

The shoes are from the FW07 collection and very similar in shape to the ones NK designed for Phillip Lim FW07.

Here is a pic of the wooden chain necklace I got for 10 euros at the music festival. I love it!
